Around and in between the VINEX locations, in the space that is still not used, there are potentials for further development and especially for improving the role and position of the VINEX neighbourhoods in the region. The focus of this research is set from the point of view of the network city theory. The society is changing and with this the perception of the urban area. According to the different network theories it is now all about flows, connections and nodes. From different theories and methods about nodes and places follows that the potentials for future development is to be found near train stations, where the node and place value play and important role. A new model is developed based on a theoretical underpinning to define the potentials of public transport nodes. This model can be used as a tool for regional and urban design and is used in this project on the area in between Rotterdam and The Hague. With the model and an analysis of the region a vision for the region is made. From this vision the focus was on VINEX neighbourhoods within the region, the location of Ypenburg is selected for further research and a design to improve the position of Ypenburg in the region is made. In the end the design is tested on the model, and with the new developments the position of Ypenburg in the region has improved. Now the location is making use of the available potentials and plays a role in the region instead of just being a residential VINEX neighbourhood. The method and model can be applied in a different context as well, because of the focus on different scales this can be seen is a tool for urban design on multiple scale levels.
